The combination of gastric juice plus digested bolus forms a liquid mixture in the stomach called ____
A
borborygmus
B
ascites
C
rugae
D
chyme
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your stomach muscles squeeze and churn to mix the bolus with all of these digestive juices. The liquid mixture is called chyme. When it’s ready, your stomach squirts the chyme into the small intestine where digestion continues and absorption of those all-important nutrients occurs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once the bolus reaches the stomach, mixes with gastric juices, and becomes reduced in size, the food mass becomes known as chyme.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your digestive glands in your stomach lining produce stomach acid and enzymes, which mix with the food to form a murky semifluid mass or paste called chyme.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chyme (“/kʌɪm/”) is the medical term used to describe the pulpy and semi-fluid composition of partly undigested food, fluid, stomach acid/gastric juices (hydrochloric acid), and digestive enzymes such as pancreatic enzymes and bile.

Detailed explanation-5: -The partially digested food and gastric juice mixture is called chyme. Gastric emptying occurs within two to six hours after a meal. Only a small amount of chyme is released into the small intestine at a time.
